I've never done a log cabin block--a shame because I think that they are so pretty!

I have never made a Log Cabin Block.

Re: Giveaway Week 15 Apr 11th - 18th

A standard 9 patch and a log cabin. The last 9 patch ended up disappearing. A log cabin seems simple enough, but I just haven't gotten to one yet.

This isn't a basic block, but I want to make the disappearing pinwheel, Had to finish other projects first.

Just one? There are way too many. Instead, I'll mention what's been on my mind lately -- figuring out how to set blocks on point. I'm going to tackle that tomorrow. I have to get over my fear of points and triangles. Then I can tackle the many, many blocks I've never tried.

Re: Giveaway Week 15 Apr 11th - 18th

Sew so many I have never tried yet.....and no good reason either, just lots of lame excuses!
Log Cabin, Fence Rail, Pine Burr.......HaHa!!!!

I want to and plan to make the feathered star. Eleanor Burns is currently working on a mystery quilt and the big reveal is a gorgeous quilt with a center feathered star block. When I viewed the video I was so excited since I've been planning this quilt for a while now. I'm sure her method will be easier than the one I originally selected, so I'll be patient and wait for her to come out with the book on how to make this quilt. There are lots of basic blocks I have yet to try. One that has had lots of discussion here on the Forum is the hexagon block. Haven't made that one yet. I have a lifetime of basic blocks. This is one hobby that never gets boring since there is always something new to try.
